You know what was the painless part of this re-install? After firing up google
chrome, I didn't need to reinstall anything for it. It's all synced with gmail.
I find myself wishing that all my fedora packages could be restored just like
that.
Oh sure, there's a few methods for automaticing installs. But none are so
brain-dead easy. Imagine, just 1 click (or command) to sync all the packages
(and maybe /etc?) to some server, and 1 step to reinstall back to the last
state.
What's that? Wouldn't work over upgrades? Somehow it does for chrome. And for
android.
